The most important factor using Image for DOS when you use the BIOS option
is the speed for IO that your BIOS uses. Some use PIO instead of UMDA.
Huge difference, you can try using BIOS (direct) to directly access (which
would use UDMA), but it simply falls back to BIOS if it can't (you can only
tell by seeing if the title of the partition list has the bus and not a
generic name).

As in topic. I'm curious what speed do you get when you create an image in
BIBM?

Ok, my PC does 5294 MB image in 4:14 min - so 20,8 MB/sec (all options on default). In direct mode it is much, much slower. I have vague impression that with BING or previous versions of BIBM I had better results. Can't be sure about it so I'm just curious if that's ok – in comparison to other users.As for my system specs: I've got Pentium D 3.4, 2 GB of 533 DDR2, SATA Samsung F3 running at 1.5
